Highlights from the final Pharmalys Voice Meeting of 2025
On September 25, 2025, Pharmalys held its third and final Pharmalys Voice meeting of the year, bringing together colleagues from across the company in a fun and interactive virtual gathering. The meeting involved presentations from colleagues, engaging discussions, and a strong sense of team spirit, closing out the year on a high note.
What is Pharmalys Voice?
Pharmalys Voice is a company-wide meeting designed to encourage open dialogue, create cross-functional collaboration, and bring our globally distributed team closer together. Held three times a year, it provides a dedicated space for team members to speak freely about their work, share challenges, offer insights, and highlight accomplishments from their day-to-day professional lives.
This initiative reflects our commitment to transparency, inclusivity, and growth. Whether it’s clarifying roles, offering practical tips, or sharing feedback with leadership, Pharmalys Voice gives everyone a platform to be heard. It’s also a chance to connect on a more personal level, with lighter, more interactive moments that strengthen our sense of community, especially important for a team spread across 17 countries.
An essential part of Pharmalys Voice is that it’s hosted by someone outside the management team. This rotating Master of Ceremony role gives team members a chance to build confidence and leadership skills, while ensuring that the meeting truly reflects the voices of the broader team. It’s also a valuable opportunity for the MC to practice public speaking, which can be beneficial for their professional development, especially when presenting at trainings, lectures, or congresses.

Cheikh Tidiane’s Journey at Pharmalys and His Promotion to Senior IT Officer
Before joining Pharmalys, my career was focused on the management of information systems. I began in the financial sector as IT Manager for a financial intermediation company, where I was responsible for building and managing its infrastructure in West Africa. Later, I joined an IT services company, supporting client IT requests and user support. I also completed a Master’s degree in Security of Information Systems. Cybersecurity quickly became the field I felt most interested in, both for its challenges and for its growing importance worldwide. My last position before joining Pharmalys was Information Security Manager which was very challenging and full of positive experience.
I joined Pharmalys as Software Manager for the PACE programme. My first major assignment was to select a provider and implement a Learning Management System for the pilot of PACE. The timeframe was tight, but within a month I had completed the provider selection and implementation, enabling all courses to run smoothly and be recorded in the cloud. After the pilot, I continued in the same role but took responsibility for Pharmalys’ Training Management System, launched in 2021. I oversaw its implementation milestones, adjusted functionalities to meet Pharmalys’ needs, coordinated testing with Pharmalys’ Business Operations team, and guided the system into production.
